Thank you. I'm home now feeling a lot better. I'm going to be forcing my self to drink from now on. Don't want to end up in the ER again. They tested for leaks and eveything came up fine. So just had bags and bags of fluids. So now I just need to say hydrated :-)

Hey everyone....in the ER with dehydration been here all day. Went for my post op visit and was sent here. I'm feeling a lil better but kinda worried about going home. It is very hard for me to get these liquids in, my stomach keeps hurting and squeezing.....hope to feel normal soon

I don't know what I really expected but I am surprised how difficult it is too drink and stay hydrated. There is discomfort when I drink feels like something is squeezing my insides. Another surprise is that I'm never hungry, which I guess is good. I need to find a new love lol

Hey lady, i'm also 8days out like u and i have to say each gets better. I struggle to stay hydrated and get in Protein but I'm not gonna stress myself im honestly doing the best i can. Glad u are feeling good

@ladylei0...sounds like we are in the same boat lol but we are making progress. The worst is behind us no were to go but up for here...as the scale goes down :-)

Sleeved 4/29/13 update...so I'm now 4 days post op. Recovering has been challenging, yesterday was the first day that I felt like I'm getting better. Those gas pains were trapped for the first 2days, I walked took meds but nothing happened until yesterday. I'm trying get enough liquids in but being mindful of going slow. I haven't exprienced any hunger, I'm still on Clear Liquids and will move to full liquids next week. No nausea or vomiting just lil burps then I stop sipping...I guess its working cause I'm already losing.....in just 4days I lost 7lbs! So I feel like things are moving in the right direction. Still sore but I know this is apart of healing can't wait to feel completely well again.....best wishes to all

I'm 2days post op and have a single incision as well. Glad that there won't be scares. Just trying to recover, this has been very painful, but it won't be like this forever

Hey new life...I'm getting a lil better, still having gas pains but I'm ok just taking eveything really slow. I just can't wait to feel normal. Its been a challenge to get in liquids, Vitamins and meds. I don't want to vomit so I sip slow. So I'm basically hanging in there following my dr's orders. Even went for a slow stroll outside today

Hang in there honey and remember this the begining of your new life, your will have new dreams, new love, and new memories...say bye to that past life and don't look back

I know! This is so weird I started this in dec and was so excited and everything has gone so smoothly and the day is here and I'm really nervous...I'm just trying to stay positive but in the back of my mind I can not imagine me being thin. I'm praying it works for me like it has for so many others

Hi kathy...I would love to hear from u after also. I'm excited for u

I guess we r sleeve sisters lol. Best wishes to u and please keep me updated

Thanks everyone. I will keep u posted. Surgery isn't untill 3:30pm have to be there at 12:30pm. Who has surgery in the afternoon? Lol

Tomorrow is the beginning of the rest of my new life! Excited but scared of the unknown. Any one else??

Hey everyone...this is my first time starting a thread, hope it comes out right lol...ok a lil back round...I'm 31yrs old, 5'0 and CW 202 HW 209 and BMI was 40 before starting my pre-op liquid diet, I will be sleeved on Monday 4/29/13...ok now this is my question??? Can a shorter person with a lower BMI still lose big and quickly??? I'm listening to everyone else's remakable progress and I'm very very impressed! Is there anyone who has similar stats as mine and has been successful? Does it take a lil longer to lose? I guess I'm scared to get my hopes up, I really cannot picture myself thin. Any comments are appreciated. Thank you

I'm also getting sleeved Monday! Like you I'm having a ton of different thoughts. I think right now I'm worried about pain and hoping I don't regrete this. But then I get this overwhelming feeling of excitement thinking about how much my life will be changing for the better :-) Best wishes to you and everyone who will soon be sleeved
